Have you ever wanted to be one of the cool kids? To get invited to the exclusive club? Of course you have. I was that way too. It never happened, but it was a nice fantasy. However, on the recent #PiratesLifeEvent I got to go somewhere exclusive that was pretty cool on its own.
In case you didn’t know, Disney has its own archives. Started in 1970 the Disney Archives are the keepers of all things Disney related (kind of like the Smithsonian but for Disney). They are tasked with keeping the history of the company preserved for the future. The Disney Archives is not actually open to the pu … [Read more...]

The interviews for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES were absolutely fantastic. I learned a lot more about the cast, the franchise, what it was like to work in this family like atmosphere, and how much fun they had while creating such a great film.
One of the interviews that I was really excited about, but truthfully didn’t realize until right after we watched the movie at the Red Carpet Premiere, was with the directors, Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg. As soon as the last credit rolled, I had to know more about the storyline, why these two men were so interested in the … [Read more...]

I’ve been ready for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES for over a year and it’s finally here!
Enter Carina Smyth, a brilliant mind with a love of astronomy, time, and mathematics. Truly a woman ahead of her time! Who wouldn’t want their daughter to follow the footsteps of the Carina’s in the world?
After seeing the film trailers my interest was piqued. After attending t … [Read more...]

After sitting down with Javier Bardem (“Captain Salazar”) and Geoffrey Rush (“Barbossa”) and discussing their roles in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES, I was a bit nervous about our next interview. I had seen Brenton in Maleficent, playing the role of Prince Phillip but that was about it and I like to be better prepared. What I did know was that he was young, good looking and Australian so the next 20ish minutes were going to be dreamy if nothing more.
As he walked in and we began to applaud his arrival, I was a bit taken aback. He was much, much more handsome in pers … [Read more...]

I absolutely adore Geoffrey Rush and have as long as I can remember. We’re talking jumping around the house and slightly freaking out as I read the email stating we would be meeting and interviewing him during the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES Red Carpet Premiere Event. We’re talking TRIP MADE, people!
Seriously, how could you not? Think Les Misérables, Shakespeare in Love, Mystery Men, House on Haunted Hill … Finding Nemo (Yes, he was in that, too!) and much, much more. I’ve loved him and hated him. He made me laugh, he made me cry. And when he became Captain Hector B … [Read more...]
